Was just doing some searches and this popped up. For those who have not seen it I think it's a good read!

"I could be arguing in my spare time"
I hadn’t seen that, thanks Rob.
Thanks Rob,
I had read it before, but it was good to read it again. I'll bet that if we were to sit a spell with him and over a couple of beers, Mr. Timbers would have some fascinating tales to tell.

KEEP ON LISTENING!
Your welcome!
Hello Ed
Would I love to talk to him about the double blind testing! Especially in how it related to the Array Series. I was really surprised he was not on board, so to speak, about it's validity. Considering how much I enjoy his designs I would like to know if the voicing was all his or was he pushed to make design changes based on preferences from the DBT results. I would have to say it's all him based on his early work but curious about what happens behind the curtain.

There seems to be a few typos at the beginning when he describes model numbers of designs done in the seventies.
Having sat through a blind listening session in Northridge, with the speaker swap mechanism (Proceed amps visible to the side),Would I love to talk to him about the double blind testing! Especially in how it related to the Array Series. I was really surprised he was not on board, so to speak, about it's validity.
It was not an environment conducive to relaxed but thoughtful/critical listening. I got the feeling it was more used to sample impressions
from various groups (perhaps as statistical evidence of what listening parameters were deemed important) and for industry capability demos.
That said, they did devote quite a bit of real estate for that space, so I'm sure it was
considered important... just not sure it was used for specific product voicing (I would guess not).
The last time this interview came up, I assumed the quoted "4335" should have read 4345. I don't know what a 4335 is. I even commented to the site and got no reply...
". . . as you have no doubt noticed, no one told the 4345 that it can't work correctly so it does anyway."—Greg Timbers
I have to study more. The more I do, the more I really like this Greg guy!
I wonder how he likes the newer JBL 590s?
Has he commented here on the newer stuff?
